My condolences to Brenda's family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I was privileged to be friends with Brenda's parents as we were neighbors in Apple Valley for many years. Our children played together, grew up together, and were all friends. This is such a very sad time but I trust that comfort will come with knowing that Brenda is with Jesus now. She will live in our hearts for all time.

To the Knockel and Sangren families, I am soooo sorry for your loss. My sisters Niki and Karla and I grew up on the same street as the Sangren girls and we all went through school together. We were all close in age so when one girl had a birthday party, we ALL got invited to everyone's party. It is a fond childhood memory.
My deepest sympathies and condolences to you all at this very difficult time.

The Bavier family is thinking of all you at this very sad time. Please know that Brenda made a huge impact on everyone's life. Her beautiful smile while singing in the choir, eye contact with everyone in the congregation, and her behind the scene's help with communion will always be appreciated by our family. What an honor to have had her in our life for 15 years. Thanks for sharing her with us.

I pray for your healing. The hurt is here where we are.
When Brenda sang in the choir it blessed the entire congregation. She expresssed her feelings with every single word. It was like she was performing specifically for GOD. I can picture her singing for Him, putting on the performance of a lifetime. May God bless you with Shalom Shalom.
